When my mum said she'd booked a holiday to go and visit her old home turf Brighton, I was pretty excited. I'd been to Brighton once before, but seeing as that was way back in year eleven I'd been itching to visit this wonderful place again. And as I expected, my week there was filled with visits to coffee shops, incredibly expensive boutiques and antique flea markets. These are just a few little documents of my trip, including some of the lovely things I came away with!

Brighton Pavilion. I couldn't take any pictures to show you inside, but if you do go to Brighton, the inside is a must see, it's an incredible Oriental inspired lavish palace.

I was lucky enough to sample a lot of Brighton's different cafes, one of my favourites was the Infinity Foods cafe in the Lanes. The staff was lovely and all the food is Veggie and organic, which might make a few of your roll your eyes but the food was honestly good food! I had this veggie sausage sandwich with some wild berry tea, which was super lovely and refreshing. You could also look out over the lanes, my mum and me enjoyed looking out at all the incredible fashionable people walking the streets!

These photos above were taken on the top floor of Brighton's antique equivalent of a department store, Snooper's Paradise. It's one of the most fascinating shops in Brighton selling everything you could possibly think of, as well as having their very own photobooth! I came away with my wonderful birdcage which I hope to use to decorate my room (I've included it below!)
